A tobit regression model for the timing of smartphone adoption in agriculture.
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Smartphones are excellent tools well-suited for applications in agriculture because of their mobility, high data processing power, access to agricultural apps, and compatibility with precision agriculture technologies. Although smartphone adoption and the use of agricultural apps are well-studied, variables influencing the timing of smartphone adoption in agriculture have not yet been closely examined. Comprehending both the timing of when a certain technology is adopted and identifying the specific characteristics of early and late adopters aids in the anticipation and thereby the fostering of the diffusion process. This study's objective is therefore to analyse the timing of smartphone adoption for agricultural purposes by applying a tobit regression model to a data set of 207 German farmers, which was collected in 2019. The results indicate that significant factors influencing the timing of smartphone adoption in agriculture include farmers' gender, risk attitude, age, size and location of their farm, among other factors. These results may be interesting to several stakeholders in agriculture such as extension services, policymakers and researchers as well as smartphone providers and sellers.
